Cheap Flights to Sivota from HK$394

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Sivota. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Sivota easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
